When you have a dream pairing of DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and PERIPHERY, it wasn't going to take long for shows to start selling out. Melbourne fans have reacted first and the Sunday 25 October show at 170 Russell is now completely sold out! We are bloody stoked to announce that both artists have agreed to perform a second and definitely final Melbourne show on Monday 26 October at 170 Russell. Tickets go on sale Thursday 30 July, 9am AEST. Brisbane and Sydney fans be warned that only limited tickets remain for your shows.

When it comes to faultless reputations, the band everyone thinks of is THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN. With a slew of brilliant albums behind them, the titans of envelope-pushing, ground-breaking heavy music have become one of the most formidable acts on the planet.

DEVIN TOWNSEND is one of the most prodigious and prolific contemporary talents in the metal world, along with being one of the most admired and celebrated.

For almost 20 years, DEVIN TOWNSEND has amazed, beguiled and occasionally baffled all comers in numerous incarnations spanning the extreme noise metal of Strapping Young Lad to the intricate melodies of Ocean Machine; Devin has had his hand in almost every genre of music, from industrial metal to progressive rock to ambient sounds. All of these projects had one thing in common: GENIUS.

Metal Hammer were on hand to capture the Soundwave 2015 event. Here's an exclusive wrap up of what went down.
Featuring interview snippets with SLIPKNOT, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, SLASH, STEEL PANTHER, JUDAS PRIEST, LAMB OF GOD, MINISTRY, GERARD WAY, ALL TIME LOW, KILLER BE KILLED & BUTCHER BABIES....as well as you, the fans!

AVASTERA are a unique and diverse band from Perth who have quickly landed stepping stones of distinct accomplishments and successes very early on in their career. To simply narrow them down and label them to one specific genre would not justify their unique sound, an interesting yet catchy blend of Alternative Rock, Pop-punk, Melodic Prog Metal, Contemporary Pop. Due to their well-crafted sound and consistent drive to take things to the next level, things can only get bigger from here for AVASTERA.

TWELVE FOOT NINJA are one of Australia’s most innovative and experimental new bands. Earlier this year, the band took home the prestigious "Best New Talent" award at the sixth annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards. They have just returned from a 30-date US tour supporting In This Moment. The debut single from Silent Machine, “Coming For You,” is currently impacting and reacting at radio now and has surpassed more than 1,000,000 YouTube views. See TWELVE FOOT NINJA perform their heavy fusion groves and soaring melodies as they open up the show in Melbourne.
